well, maybe not tip over, but makes the HAB Theory look more possible...

The cataclysms occur when the Earth is thrown off balance due to a massive, unbalanced accumulation of ice at the polar regions. As these polar ice caps grow, their enormous weight, accumulating unevenly as it does, creates an imbalance, and a wobble begins to develop in the rotation of the Earth on its axis. Year by year, as the ice caps grow, this eccentricity increases until, with devastating suddenness, the polar masses are thrown toward the point of greatest spin, which is the equator. Quite abruptly, the areas which were polar now become equatorial, and vice versa.

Thanks for the info. Now I won’t go near the equator for fear of being spun off the planet. LOL! Wonder how algore will address the possible axis shift? Glo-bull warming is my guess.

None of which is helped by the vast amounts of spin
generated by Washington!

If the Earth were scaled down to the size of an Apple, the crust would be as thick as the skin on the Apple and all the water in the world would be just a mist of vapor on the surface of that skin.

Besides, the gravity pull from the Moon causes the whole planet to stretch into an oblate spheroid with it’s pointy end always toward the Moon. You would think that would cause an out of balance situation by itself.

It is lunatic to think the earth’s axis of spin could possibly move 90 degrees from present. It is like saying that a football thrown as a tight spiral will somehow begin to tumble end over end.
